EGR-Free China Stage IV Power: Strong Performance, Fuel Economy

DL08 high-power engine: 204 kW without EGR losses

The Hyundai HX305VL is powered by the Hyundai DL08 high-power engine, rated at 204 kW at 1,800 rpm. The EGR-free structural design avoids power loss, while long service intervals keep whole-machine operating cost controllable.

DOC+DPF+SCR and a 5,000 m altitude kit

The DOC+DPF+SCR aftertreatment system meets China Stage IV emission requirements, and an optional kit adapts the machine to plateau working conditions up to 5,000 meters. The machine must run on low-sulfur diesel, low-ash oil and genuine DEF (urea) to keep the aftertreatment system stable. Export-market configurations may differ, so confirm the compliance package for your destination country with our sales team.

SPC + EPOS: 4–6% fuel optimization, E/S/P/P+ modes

Third-generation SPC smart power control combined with EPOS electronic power optimization dynamically adjusts engine and pump output power to the actual load, delivering 4–6% fuel consumption optimization. Four working modes — E, S, P and P+ — cover everything from light duty to the heaviest loading and breaking cycles.

VBO Intelligent Hydraulics: Fast Response, Lower Energy Loss

Bosch large-displacement electronically controlled main pump

The machine is configured with a German Bosch large-displacement electronically controlled main pump, paired with industry-first-class main valve, swing motor and travel motor — the hardware foundation of mine-grade productivity.

VBO neutral-closed main control valve

The VBO neutral-closed main control valve cuts off multi-pump flow output in idle state, while the electronically controlled pump matches output flow to working demand in real time, reducing overflow loss. Signal feedback across the hydraulic chain is sensitive and compound actions are smooth — working efficiency rises while ineffective energy consumption falls, fully unleashing the machine's digging and breaking performance.
